Synopsis
This is not how they expected the summer to play out.
Milo Bloom, chess prodigy, has a secret: he doesn’t want to play chess anymore.
If only he had the courage to tell someone. Instead, he blows a major tournament on purpose. The problem is, winning that tournament was a ticket to chess camp, and now his summer plans are shot.
Enter Roxie, a girl he’s never met, who shows up at his door to tell him that he and his mom will be spending the summer in her “cat room” … what?
Before Milo knows what’s hit him, he’s living at Roxie’s house, where creepy cats rule, meat products are banned, and Roxie won’t give him a second alone. But when Milo and Roxie stumble across two people playing a mysterious game, they become determined to learn
the ancient game of Go. Between late-night library adventures and creating a Go club at their camp, Milo and Roxie form an unexpected friendship. But none of that matters if Milo can’t face his fears and tell his mom how he really feels.
From the author of The Doughnut Fix comes another funny, heartfelt book about overcoming the fear of letting down the people you love and the amazing things that can come from a summer of nothing going your way.
